I curled inside myself, Bit my tongue and Forgot the lessons They taught me, but No more. I have oceans beneath my flesh, Roaring with the sounds of Lost civilisation and I could not be quiet if You begged me. Listen, For I am Earth and Air And holy Fire, sent to Cleanse your violence With something so fierce it Burns. I am alive, And I am bigger than Every load you ****** upon my back. I shall not carry your burdens. *I shall break them.
